Last week was so hectic with the nurses and therapists computers down, I’m hoping that today proves to be a great start to a great week. After Saturday’s heartbreak, yesterday was nice and pretty quiet.  Saturday night we ended up going to Old Navy. Since all Geno’s jeans had holes we figured it was time to buy him a couple new pairs.  We also were able to find a nice sweater for Derrick to wear for pictures with the Lolli family.  Yesterday we went to Kohl’s and finished the outfits for Lolli pictures and actually NC Lolli pictures we will get done right before Geno leaves for Iraq.  So ALL outfit shopping SHOULD be complete for ALL upcoming pictures!!!

We were JUST about to make steaks here at home when Geno mentioned ribs - so we packed up the boys and headed to Smokey Bones.  Xavier LOVES BBQ pulled pork. He’s learning to use a fork REALLY well. He eventually gave up using it for his pork, fingers were more efficeint.

He also started saying his name, which is NOT easy!  It’s not perfect but he does try to say it.  He’s also been saying “my mama” and “my daddy”  It’s amazing how they change day to day…

Derrick had a good weekend. They won again so they are now 5-0.  Derrick even scored a touchdown which is rare for a quarterback in this league.  After the game the coach gave Derrick an extra football for his helmet saying “Derrick’s my coach on the field” and “I told him a play he said ‘coach that isn’t going to work, try this’ and sure enough it worked and he ran it in for a touchdown”. Geno and I are so proud of him.  It actually hit me this weekend that I’m in a world of trouble when he starts liking girls.  He’s already hinted that there is one girl in his school that’s “cute” but he doesn’t “like” her….oh boy!!!!

Not much for this week. Derrick has school pictures on Wednesday. I have a training class on Wednesday also so I will be in our new Dunn office all day - woohoo! (that’s sarcasm)

Have a good week!!!
